The device must not be operated with a damaged housing or
without a properly fitted grass collecting bag or ejection flap on
the housing.
–
Housing
This protective device protects against injuries through contact
with the rotating cutter bar.
The device must not be operated with a damaged housing.
Ensure that your hands and feet do not get under the housing.
–
Belt drive covers (5)
This protective device protects against injuries caused by moving
parts.
The device must not be operated with damaged covers or without
correctly attached covers.
–
Insulating elements (Bowden cable detachment (4), isolator
switches ((13) for 47-PRO E VARIO and (14) for 54-PRO
E VARIO))
These protective devices offer additional protection against
injuries caused by electric shocks.
The device must not be operated with damaged insulating
elements. Ensure that your hands are only placed in the intended
areas during use (top part of the bar).
•
The protective devices must not be modified.
•
Do not switch on the drive during the starting process.
When you start the machine, make sure that your feet are at
a sufficiently safe distance away from the cutting tool.
When the motor is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the
cutting tool is pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as
far as absolutely necessary. As long as the device does not have all
4 wheels on the ground, both of your hands must be on the top part
of the bar.
Do not start the motor when people or animals are standing in front
of the mower.
Never put your hands or feet near or under revolving parts. Always
make sure that your hands or feet do not get under the housing.
Switch the motor off by releasing the motor stop safety control bar and
make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill,
and that all batteries have been removed:
–
if you have to leave the machine unattended;
–
before you inspect, clean or carry out work on the machine;
–
when you have to lift or tilt the machine, e.g. for transportation;
–
when you need to transport the machine to and from the area to
be mown;
–
before you remove or attach the grass collecting bag;
–
before the mulch plug is inserted into or removed from the
ejection channel;
–
when driving off the lawn;
–
before unblocking jams or removing blockages in the ejection
channel;
–
if a foreign body has been encountered;
–
if a fault occurs;
–
if the machine starts to vibrate strangely.
•
If a foreign object has been encountered or if the machine becomes blocked,
e.g. by driving onto an obstacle, an authorised workshop must check whether
parts of the device have been damaged or deformed. Always have any
necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too. Do not restart or
operate the machine before this has been done.
•
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises,
please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Heavy vibrations on your hands can damage your health. Please contact an
authorised workshop immediately if heavy vibrations occur.
Switch the motor off by releasing the motor stop bar, make sure that
all moving parts have come to a complete standstill,
–
before you remove the battery/batteries from or insert them into
the motor's battery compartment;
–
if you want to adjust the cutting height;
–
before you remove the grass collecting bag.

WARNING
The noise level and the vibration value stated in the operating instructions
have been determined according to the standard. These may differ from these
values during the actual use of the machine. This depends on the way in which
the machine is used.
It is necessary to define safety measures to protect the operating personnel
which are based on an estimation of the vibration load during the actual
conditions of use. In doing this, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken
into account, for instance times in which the machine is switched off or
switched on, but running without load.
The use of unbalanced cutting tools, excessive speed of movement, or
insufficient maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and
vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate
possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while
working.
Adhere to the maintenance work listed in this operating manual and have the
device checked and serviced regularly by an authorised workshop.
Maintenance and storage
•
Insufficient device maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
•
Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the device is in
a safe working condition.
The ejection flap must only be opened and the grass collecting bag
or mulch plug removed when the motor is turned off and the cutter bar
is at a standstill.
Before you start mowing, always check the grass collecting equipment
for wear or loss of functionality.
Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating
of the blade. The blade fastening screw must always be tightened by
an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is tightened excessively or
insufficiently, blade fastening and cutter bar may be damaged or get
loose, which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade
must imperatively be replaced.
The replacement, regrinding and balancing of the blade must be
carried out by an authorised workshop.
Due to an incorrectly assembled blade fastening, the cutter bar may
become loose, which can lead to serious injuries.
An incorrectly ground and unbalanced blade can cause strong
vibrations and damage the lawn mower.
•
For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
•
Do not clean the device under running water or with high-pressure cleaning
devices. The electrical system may be damaged.
•
Empty the grass collecting bag before storage.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
•
When handling operating fluids, such as lubricants, suitable protective
equipment (e.g. suitable protective gloves) must be worn.
The data sheets of the operating fluids must be observed.
Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level
surfaces with the motor switched off and all batteries removed.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.
Always store the device in a clean and well-serviced state in a closed,
dry room and inaccessible to children.
Before putting the machine into storage, always remove all batteries
in order to prevent unauthorised operation of the machine.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
